Chapter 1
I don't know how I always end up in these situations...Me Annabeth, Grover, and Tyson are on quest to save Camp half-blood...again. This time the Greek monster the Chimera has come back. Somehow she can get into Camp half-blood, and she is certainly on her way to coming and attacking Camp half-blood. For a while she has been killing, and eating mortals, it's been a real problem, the mortals are getting suspicious. Right now we are running for our lives, just the usual. Behind us were some hellhounds, if not for Grover's sense of smell there would have been no way we would have known those hellhounds were there.
Annabeth was running beside me on my right, Grover was too my left and Tyson was beside him. The hellhounds are far behind us but gaining fast, Grover looked back and bleated with despair. "There is noooo way we can out run themmmmm!" Well obviously, they have four legs we have two, simple math, yeah? I let out a hard breath, the air came out in a puff of vapor. The ground was white and I had on my Camp half-blood T-shirt. My coat was hanging somewhere on a tree it had been ripped off by a hellhound, my arm had a cut in it from where it had pulled against my skin.
I felt Annabeth beside me, my only reassurance, she was radiating heat, it warmed me a bit. Then she was gone, I yelped and skidded to a stop. I see a patch of golden hair among the snow, quickly I spotted her hand and began to help her up. But the hellhounds had caught up, I had just pulled out Riptide when one reached me. I slashed at it as it slowed down, it disintegrated. Annabeth had her knife out now and was taking on a particularly large hellhound. Tyson took on a smaller one bare handed and Grover was kicking at a small one. I spotted a medium-sized one it was sneaking up on Grover, I ran at it sword drawn and slashed it leaped back and snarled.
It leaped at me barking , I swung Riptide but my shivering threw my aim off, and I missed. It took the chance to leap at me, at first I dodged but it managed to hit me with a powerful paw, I was sent sprawling into the snow. Chills racked my whole body, man I could sure go for a hot chocolate right now. Just as I had gotten back to my senses the hellhound was on top of me, it snapped at my shoulder, it's teeth caught my shirt ripping it open and lightly scratching my shoulder. Before it could strike again I brought my sword up and slashed at it's flank, it jumped away just in time. Then brought a big paw down on my head.
I saw stars for a second before my vision cleared, the hellhound was on top of me and was about to bite my shoulder off. "Get off me you big mutt!" I yelled and managed to push it off. Finally I managed to slash it's nose with Riptide, it disappeared. I looked around, I saw a lot of grey and brown. Lots of hellhounds, I usually like dogs but these are just annoying! I knew what I needed to do, I closed my eyes and tried to summon water, a searing pain hit my gut and saltwater sprayed the hellhounds sending them running away. Of course I had left my friends dry, don't need anyone getting hypothermia.
The water died down and I sighed with relief, it's not easy ya know, water is a lot harder to summon than you think. Annabeth was standing in the snow watching the hellhounds flee. "They'll be back, a little water won't keep them away." She said turning around, "we should cover some more ground, separate ourselves from them." I sighed, so much running, most people think these quests are fun, man they are wrong, it's actually kind of boring most of the time, unless your fighting all you do is run. Last night i got an hour of sleep. My eyes felt like weights but I nodded and we all started to jog off.
That night I was so cold I couldn't feel my hands, Annabeth managed to dig out an old coat from her bag, it was better than nothing, but it had lots of holes in it. I put my bag down and pulled out a blanket, I wrapped myself in it and closed my eyes, at once I drifted off.
